10/15/15 Reviews! BACHELORETTE: Cabanas, High Roller, Chayo & more

I originally struggled with ideas of what activities to do
for a Bachelorette party, so I hope this helps some of you J There were 12 of us, and it was a
totally mixed age group of all my friends plus my mum, mother-in-law, auntie
and grandmother! We did it 2 days before the wedding so that we had plenty of
time to recover from the hangover (which I needed!). The boys all went out for
the Bachelor party on the same day.

Cabana at Boulevard Pool, Cosmopolitan – A+

So so happy we did this. Yes, it was pricey ($850 minimum
spend for the day) but when split between 12 of us it worked out okay and we
drank all day! The $850 got us a bottle of vodka with mixers, more pitchers of
margaritas than I could count, a few bottles of wine, a bottle of champagne and
some poolside snacks to soak it all up. We had our own waitress and the service
was great. The pool was quite quiet on a Tuesday so they gave us the
“super-cabana” which is bigger than all the rest and we had a good selection of
loungers both in the sun and in the shade.

I chose a Cosmo pool because that’s the hotel I stayed at,
but the pools are also gorgeous and the central location made it easy for all
the others to get to as well. Boulevard is the more “lively” of the Cosmo pools
with good music and DJs at weekends, Bamboo pool is lovely but a lot more
chilled & quiet.

I’d really recommend doing this for an easy going day-time
activity that suits everyone. Even the mum’s and my gran enjoyed it! It would
even be fun for a meet & greet situation as it’s so relaxed and got
everyone chatting.

The High Roller, Linq (Happy Half-Hour) – A

I bought the tickets in advance through group bookings, so
it worked out as only $30pp to do the happy half-hour ride. This is where
there’s a full bar in the pod with you and you can drink for free on the way
round. We did the 5.50pm ride as that’s the last time slot before the price
increases for the evening rides. Our bartender Amanda was amazing and gave the
most efficient service I’ve ever seen! She really made sure you got your
money’s worth from the open bar! She even poured shots for us all when the ride
reached the top, and poured another drink for everyone at the end to take off
with them. Everyone loved the views and it made a great bachelorette photo
opportunity. I’d say this is great to do with a group who are new to Vegas as
it’s a lot more memorable than just sitting in a bar!

Chayo, Linq – B

I booked Chayo mainly because of its location close to the
High Roller. When we showed up at the door they had no record of my reservation
(even though I had the confirmation emails) but they managed to get us a table
for 12 straight away so it wasn’t an issue. The food was pretty good but the
service was slow and our waiter kept disappearing for large amounts of time.
Overall it was a good choice though as we were pretty loud and this is the kind
of place that doesn’t mind big groups, but I wouldn’t go back in a hurry.

Bar Crawl on Linq Boulevard

Overall I think this was a good location to choose for a
Bachelorette night, you can easily move from bar to bar without having to walk
for ages between casinos. Everywhere is pretty casual so they didn’t mind large
groups or the tacky decorations all my friends had brought! Blarney’s Bar
outside O’Shea’s was probably my favourite, we ended the night in
Margaritaville which I was kind of disappointed by. It was so much quieter than
I’d hoped, maybe just because it was mid-week.

Bachelor Party

If any of your men are looking for ideas, this is what my
hubby did and he loved it all!

Taylor Made Golf Experience – think it was round $60pp for a
9-hole round, club hire, golf buggy and 2 beers

New York, New York rollercoaster – everyone apart from the 2
dad’s went on!

Stretch-hummer for 16 of them to Fremont St

Pizza Rock for dinner – they were happy to take reservations
for large groups and apparently the food was amazing
